Headlines You Don't See Every Day (outside of Florida)

Quadruple amputee cornhole player fatally shoots man, authorities say

A county sheriff's office in Maryland said Monday that a professional cornhole player who is also a quadruple amputee fatally shot a passenger in the front seat of a car he was driving during an argument.

Dayton James Webber, 27, was arrested and charged as a fugitive from justice by police in Albemarle County, Virginia, the Charles County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Webber was profiled by ESPN in 2023. According to his parents, doctors amputated his arms and legs when he was 10 months old to save his life after he contracted a blood infection that led to sepsis.

Webber went on to become a professional player of cornhole, a game in which players throw bean bags through a hole in a slanted wooden board to score points.

I wondered how a quadruple amputee could shoot a gun while operating a car, let alone play cornhole.

Well, apparently he can:

Ohio State Athletic Program Violations

Login to view embedded media
The first violation occurred in the summer of 2025, when the Buckeyes used a student manager no longer enrolled at the university. A previous enrollee at one of Ohio State's regional campuses, his duties include some clock operation responsibilities for OSU. The manager was removed, and Ohio State has since introduced enrollment tracking services for its managers.

“The (equipment) staff believed the individual involved would be enrolling at the main campus for the fall 2025 term and permitted him to commence performing traditional managerial duties,” the report read, per the Dispatch.

The second violation reported occurred in January 2025, when a player participated in team strength and conditioning activities before being medically cleared. After the violation was discovered, Ohio State's medical staff cleared the athlete that day, and the Buckeyes are reexamining their medical clearance process.

The third and final self-reported violation occurred when an Ohio State assistant coach shared a post on social media announcing the verbal commitment of a transfer portal prospect, but since the prospect had not actually committed yet, an infraction occurred. The post was deleted and the Buckeyes provided educational services to the assistant.
Time to clean house!

Jake Diebler (Head Coach)

Jake Diebler’s latest comment should be music to the ears of Buckeye Nation following Ohio State’s season ending in the NCAA Tournament​

The future of Ohio State basketball could be on the come up if Jake Diebler’s latest comment holds weight.

On his weekly radio show on Monday, Diebler made a promising statement that’ll correlate exactly with what Ohio State fans want to hear.

“There’s a lot of good happening behind the scenes to set us up to be successful from a roster construction point,” Diebler stated. “It’s been a battle to get to this point but I’m excited about the progress we’ve made …”

Much better place today than we were this time last year when it comes to building our roster.”

Resulting Oil costs (and not politics)

I believe that I also heard recently that at least for accounting purposes, gas stations charge at the pump based on the price to refill their tanks. A cash flow situation so they can afford the cost of refilling the tanks. And as noted above, the cost to refill is based on global oil prices.
I believe that’s correct. As a result, gas stations do well when the price is rising and get killed when the price is falling. Some big chains might buy futures/swaps/options to hedge against price volatility, but I doubt the independent operators could manage that.

If you could change the outcome of one Ohio State football game, which would you choose?

I've got a couple years on you and I considered making that game my choice. everything about that game was bullshit. From the the MSU first down reception that was an obvious trap catch ( the damn ball bounced on the ground) to the final plays when the refs allowed Sparty to hold Buckeye players down, to the final two plays. I'll go to my grave saying Champ Henson scored on the second to last play, and the clock hadn't run out before the Bucks final snap. Then taking 45 minutes to decide who actually won the game.
If memory serves me, Woody threatened to kick B1G Commissioner Wayne Duke's ass with a table leg in the locker room when he told Woody of the decision.

The worst was Steve Myers literally having his facemask held to the ground preventing him from getting up for what would be the final play. I too believed at the time that Champ got in on that last play, but I've watched it a 1000 times since and had to take off my Scarlet colored glasses to see it the way it really was. He didn't get in. Sometimes you get the calls, sometimes you don't. Fast forward to the 2016 TTUN game. There is nobody on the planet that can ever convince me that JT got that OT first down. If that was them getting the call against us, we'd still be bitching about it to this day. That's enough for me, time to go back to the thread about the Greatest Buckeye victory in your lifetime. 2002 Natty vs. Miami, and again, nothing else is even close! OH-

OC Arthur Smith (Official Thread)

Stereotype much?

And no, I did not grow up a "rich kid". Didn't live in the "rich" part of town (that would have been Rolling Hills where I went to school). But I did grow up thinking you shouldn't judge people based on their net worth.

Here's a novel concept - How about we see what he does as our OC before reaching any conclusions?
Mischaracterize much?

That's a novel concept, and one that I explicitly mentioned in the post you quoted, lol.

DE Qua Russaw (Official Thread)

Ohio State transfer unfairly knocked for playing the wrong position

Ohio State Buckeyes EDGE Qua Russaw isn't guaranteed to start during the 2026 College Football season on the EDGE, with Kenyatta Jackson Jr.'s counterpart potentially being him, Zion Grady, himself a former Alabama Crimson Tide commit, and fifth-year senior Beau Atkinson.

Per Eleven Warriors' Dan Hope, "There’s no clear pecking order in that competition right now, but the early intrigue centers around Grady, who Jackson said has 'all the tools' to be a great defensive end, and Russaw, who was more of a hybrid linebacker than a true defensive end at Alabama but showed plenty of explosiveness and power in his first two practices as a Buckeye."

Bama Hammer's John Mitchell believes Buckeye fans are seeing firsthand that the Russaw hype has a strong chance of not materializing, and added an interesting wrinkle as to why: he's playing out of position at defensive end and should embrace being an outside linebacker.

"Russaw's biggest issue is not understanding what's best for him. It's obvious that he's not a true edge rusher, and never will develop into one. But with his athletic ability and speed, he could make a heck of an off-ball LB, and if he had been open to that position change, one that gives him the best shot at an NFL career, then he'd likely still be in Tuscaloosa and starting spring practice at the top of the Alabama depth chart," Mitchell wrote.

Qua Russaw has the tools to be a great OLB

Russaw is definitely a better run-stopper than pocket-breaker. Thus far, elite blindside tackles have been able to keep him from getting to the quarterback. Playing under Kane Wommack over two seasons, Russaw had two sacks. Interestingly enough, he also had two interceptions in coverage.

There are many skills in Russaw's toolbox. The one essential skill that's currently lacking, regularly outmuscling opposing tackles, is the one he needs the most at defensive end, the position he seems set on.

Perhaps it'd be best to unleash Russaw in the middle, where his athleticism can help him set the edge more regularly while complementing his ability to diagnose run plays before they unfold. LB coach James Laurinaitis could certainly use more freak athletes after losing a handful to the 2026 NFL draft.
